All the Good Girls
I began to write this novel just as a lark for Nanowrimo 2004. Hell if I know how I got the idea, but I had a very lovely outline done by the middle of October, and waited impatiently for November 1 so I could start in on my 50,000 words. In true me style, I finished out November with either 26- or 27,000 words, which I consider to be a huge accomplishment since we're still talking about ME here.
"All the Good Girls" spans a time period of over several years. Ed Hailey is a nice, young man working a blue collar job that he doesn't particularly care for. He puts up with it because he wants to provide for the woman he's married - Polly, the the love of his life, and the daughter of his former boss. Their life together is perfect - except that, unbeknownst to anyone else, Ed can't stop killing young women.

Job hunting This is the part of the story where Ed and Polly meet for the first time.
Graduation This section immediately follows the one above. A couple of years have gone by and Ed is getting ready to leave high school just as Polly is getting ready to begin it.
Prom pictures There's a very short bit missing between the previous section and this one; I left it out because it is just Ed and his mom arguing, and I don't really like the way it's written. In this part we take a bit of a jump into the future, to Polly's senior year.
Babysitting blues Even in the bright days of 1982, 9-year-old Ed Hailey's mama won't leave him unchaperoned. NEW
